The search for the next Dalai Lama has become far more than a religious tradition. As the 14th Dalai Lama lays out plans for his succession, China insists that any future reincarnation must receive Beijing's approval, while the Tibetan spiritual leadership rejects any state role in the process. India, home to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile since 1959, also finds itself at the centre of the unfolding dispute. On Spotlight, Daniela Laurel explains how the centuries-old process of recognising a Dalai Lama works, why the Panchen Lama controversy still shapes Tibetan politics, and why the succession could produce two rival Dalai Lamas.
